Put this column in a drawer and take it out on the date below. Let me know how many of these predictions I got right.
November 7, 2012 It may not be morning in America, but be thankful that its not the dawn of the living dead. With civil war breaking out in Greece, Spain in chaos as it seeks to exit the euro, California preparing to file bankruptcy following the failure of Governor Jerry Browns budget referendum, and Portland, Oakland, and Seattle busy clearing the rubble from the devastation of their Occupy fires, the American electorate has finally said Enough!
The great experiment in progressive democracy is over. Convincing a majority of American voters that they can live at someone elses expense proved a bridge too far, as those same voters watched the social democracies of Europe unravel. When presented with a choice between two presidential candidates with diametrically opposed visions of the proper role of government, Americans chose to step back from the abyss.
To no ones surprise, the campaign was ugly. As each successive poll revealed incumbent President Barack Obama slipping further behind, the Obama camps attacks grew ever shriller. Class, gender, race, religion, ethnicity, sexualitynot variant of identity politics was left untapped in what turned out to be a futile attempt to divide the electorate into warring camps and shift the debate to anything besides the deteriorating economy and the cataclysmic national debt.
The Supreme Courts evisceration of Obamacarethe presidents signature accomplishmentset the tone for a long, hot summer. The Occupy movements escalating campaign of violence, which culminated in major street battles at both national conventions, did little to help Obamas cause. Persistently high unemployment, coupled with an inflationary uptick as the Federal Reserve made a desperate attempt to launch yet another round of quantitative...

Worth reading the whole article. I really like the part about the downfall of the MSM.
To: BO Stinkss
Even though all the polls (esp. at the state level) don’t quite show it yet, I indeed think we’re on the verge of a “realigning” election (in political scientists’ terms). That poll on abortion the other day was a shocker-—I knew pro-life was ahead, but didn’t know that the gap was that big.

I read the entire article....EXCELLENT. Is the author, Bill Frezza, credible? Does his prediction seem to be an overreach? I pray that he is accurate on every count.

Wholeheartedly agree. Also I note nowhere in the article any reference to the USA as a Democracy.

I sure don't see it at this point. Demographics and the rapidly growing dependent class almost guarantee this will be a close one.
Add in the usual voter fraud, and I have to think the Kenyan is the favorite as of now.

I think we have evolved into what is called a ‘managed democracy’.
Thirty years or more our politicians and political professionals (self labeled ‘elites’) have worked to subvert the Republic to this very soviet type of system.

Political "Death of a Salesman" -- Romney's Pathethic Self-Destruct before Tampa 2012
2012-05-04
I haven't yet located Jim Robinson's post entitled "Frank discussion re our loss to Obama/Romney and the future direction of FR and tea party movement".
I'm sure that it's content was great.
I would like to be very careful in my next few words.
To summarize:
"Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin will be the 2012 GOP Nominees in Tampa".
I am neither an alleged spiritual prophet, or a pollyana madman.
I have worked much in politics, including with Pat Buchanan, Dole-96, Bush-43 (Florida "Ballot-Chad" Protestor") and Newt Gingrich in Florida this year.
Something in my gut intuition tells me that the O-Romney GOP E-RINO Campaign is in a state of "quiet fear and desperation", albeit in a stealth mode ...
Forgive me for the historic analogy, but the situation has a peculiar feel about it, similar to Gen. Patton's vague suspicions that the German Wermacht was "up to something" just prior to launching the 1944 Battle of the Bulge".
Yesterday (Thursday, 2012-05-03) a news report (via Fox News, of course) mentioned something about Condi Rice being a "strategic win" Vice Presidential pick for Romney.
That's peculiar, because Condi Rice has repeatedly said that she's not the LEAST bit interested in such a position ... ever. That's been Condi's staement for a couple of years now.
Why would Romney be floating such an idea (so very publicly, at the national news media level) ... when he's been crowned the presumptive "King Romney" by E-RINO insiders such as Karl Rove (ad nauseum) ?
Is O-Romney frightened by a recent (unknown) event ?
What about the Marco Rubio (Florida Hispanic "Wonder Boy") discussions about being Romney's VP ?
Have they secretly floundered ?
Did "Rock Star" Senators Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan see polling data that says that even if he becomes a Southern Baptist (next week), that Romnet is TOAST with the GOP Conservative Base ?
A peculiar quiet has settled-in among the GOP Conservative Leadership ... Newt, Sarah, Santorum, Perry ...
I do not sense that this is the "Quiet of the Vanquished" ... but rather the same "quiet before the storm" that saw General George Washington's suprise defeat of the Hessians at Trenton, a CRUCIAL turning point of the Revolutionary War ...
Newt Gingrich repeatedly discussed this EXACT metaphor during his (active) campaign ... especially the "Victory or Death" aspect ...
From the British Empire's perspective (or Fox News), wasn't Gen. George Washington's conventional military campaign "suspended", "defeated", "financially broke with furious creditors" ... with Gen. Washington personally criticized with having a "monsterous ego", "grandious delusions of victory", needlessly calling on his troops to fight a "lost cause from the very beginning" ?
I can easily imagine Fox New's Shepard Smith (and the other recent GOP talking-head) ... telecasting this Fox News report about Gen. George Washington's defeat ... and that of the American Tea Party, as well ... using the above words ... as a part of the British Empire's "official" propaganda messenger boys ...
Coincidentally, these were (approximately) the VERY SAME WORDS that Fox News and Townhall used to describe Newt Gingrich's political decisons over the past few days ...
Again ... those Fox News derogatory terms for your convenience ...
a campaign "defeated", "financially broke with furious creditors" ... with Newt Gingrich having a "monsterous ego", "grandious delusions of victory", needlessly calling on his troops to fight a "lost cause from the very beginning" ...
We Free Republic Conservatives are well familiar with the literary phrase "Who is John Gault ?"
Let me ask "you" (gentle reader) a question ...
Who is Newt Gingrich ?
Who is Sarah Palin ?
Who is Rick Santorum ?
Who is Rick Perry ?
Who is Herman Cain ?
Who is Michelle Bachman ?
Do any of these names conjure up character-descriptions like "weak", "afraid", "cowardly", "visionless", "foolhardy", "phony", "money-grubbers", "liars" ???
Hardly, and quite the opposite !
For me, every one of these men and women (from my perspective) ...
Conjure up words like "courage", "intellect", "strength", "character", "faith", "VISION" ....
So what's my premise here ?
Again ...
"Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin will be the 2012 GOP Nominees in Tampa".
The O-Romney campaign won a Pyhrric Victory with his 650-whatever delegates "won" for Tampa ...
A tactical and strategic fool ... akin to Hitler's military genius (/sarcam-off) ...
O-Romney has butchered has own (potential) Infanrty Corps the Tea Party and Free Republic Conservatives) when he "carpet-bombed" his GOP Competitors (Newt, Santorum, Perry, Cain) into leaving the field ...
O-Romney "never once" articulated a "single" original "conservative" political idea the entire 2012 primary season ...
Not a "single" one ...
Obama defeats Romney in November 2012 ... period.
Marco Rubio, Colin Powell, Paul Ryan, Juan McCain, Condi Rice ... all know that ...
When Dan Rather (hail to Feeeper Buckhead) yesterday (2012-05-04) said that Romney might defeat Obama ... it's high-time to get the Bravo-Sierra knee-high waders on ...
O-Romney is toast.
And even Mittens knows it ... that explains the "desperation" move of publicly (begging) for Condi Rice to (please) come to Mitt's rescue ...
And Condi ain't buying Mitt's baloney ...
"Successful" (presumed) presidential candidates ARE NEVER BEGGING for Vice Presidential mates ... three (full) months before the GOP Convention's door opens ...
Never.
Romney is in "strategic" level trouble. Like the German Army at Stalingrad, he's sooo screwed ...
What happens next ? Funny you ask ...
The Plan
1) Romneys Hollow-Support:
No one really likes Romney (including George & Barbara Bush)
The GOP E-RINO club (and Rush Limbaugh) only selected Romney because the other 7-8 GOP candidates wouldnt drink their Bain Capital betray America kool-aide
Supporters of Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Cain, Michelle Bachman
loathe Romney
The only folks who voted for Mittens were 75-year old-school Gerald Ford Republicans absolutely terrified that they were loosing all their stock-market savings
and plus they dont really use the internet (FreeRepublic, et al)
all these folks watch is ABC and CNN
Of course, lots and lots of Mormons voted for Romney
which is why Romney dominated in Utah and Arizona
and got clobbered in The South
Evangelical Christians
the political boots-on-the-ground Infantry of any successful GOP Campaign
are quietly scared to death over this Mormon Used Car Salesman
2) Genuine Conservatives REFUSE to Play the Juan McCain Game again in 2012:
Tea Party Members
supporters of Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Cain, Michelle Bachman
loathe Romney
Again
the political campaign infantry of the other 7-8 candidates believe (with good reason) that Romneys $$$ bought endorsements, and Willards despicable lying-through-his-teeth, and finally, Willards scorched-earth TV ad campaigns against Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry
and (almost) Rick Santorum in Pennsylvania
Make all these potential GOP voters
and campaign workers
vomit at the mention of Mitt Romney
The last time the GOP E-RINO establishment told us Patriots to fall on our swords for The Party (may its unholy pro-choice name be blasphemed forever)
they gave us that ...
(fill-in-the-blank) Juan McCain
who literally gave Obama the U.S. Presidency on a Silver Platter.
Not again, baby
certainly not in 2012 !
3) The Secret Patriot Resistance is Already Born:
OK
so Romney won a lot of delegates
but still 500 short
just like Hitler surprised the French in 1941
What to do, Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Cain, Michelle Bachman ???
Suspend your campaigns. Offer a token quasi-soft endorsement of Mittens.
Do NOT give your delegates to Romney.
The Goal ?
Willard stops the negative TV ads against everyone.
All the campaign money Romney still has left (aircraft, bullets, bombs, ships) sit useless in a warehouse.
No more casualties
for the good guys
Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Cain, Michelle Bachman
And they quietly wait for the surprise counter attack
in Tampa
4) Mitt Romneys Tsunami of Severe Verbal Campaign Gaffes
until August 2012
Every week Romney says something STUPID
Every week Romney inches (crawls) back to his LIBERAL POLITICAL ROOTS
trying to win-over the political Holy Grail
the (highly over-rated Independents)
Every week
genuine Conservatives QUIETLY decide in their hearts
Theres no way in Hell Im voting for that LIBERAL idiot
Every week
genuine Christian Conservatives QUIETLY decide in their hearts
Theres no way in Hell Im voting for that Mormon Anti-Christ cult member
Every week
Conservatives in California, Texas and 12 other (Primary Voting) states that the GOP E-RINO Club just tossed-aside
will QUIETLY decide in their hearts
Theres no way in Hell Im voting for that E-RINO Pubbie Imposter
5) Ten Days prior to the GOP Convention
Sarah Palins D-Day Landing
On that day
Sarah Palin
the great conservative Peace Maker will assemble the entire group of 2012 GOP Candidates
except Mitt Romney, of course
Sarah Palin
and
Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Cain, Michelle Bachman
Sarah Palin will declare Mitt Romneys Candidacy a complete fraud
their ammunition will be all the Romney Campaign Gaffes and (new-old-again) Liberal Mitt Romney political positions
Sarah Palin will (in her speech published on YouTube to avoid Fox News Censorship)
will personally nominate the entire GOP Ticket
Sarah Palin will nominate Newt Gingrich for President
Newt Gingrich, when its his (choreographed turn to speak after Sarah Palin)
will ask Sarah Palin to be his Vice President
As Sarah Palin returns to the podium to accept, she will them suggest that Rick Santorum be US Attorney General
As Rick Santorum gives his informal acceptance speech, he will suggest that Rick Perry be the Energy Secretary
6) An American Conservative Movement On Fire Again
Over the next ten days before the Tampa Conventions Opening Bell
All of Romneys uncommitted delegates will be invited to meet with all the above folks
Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Cain, Michelle Bachman
Mitt Romney cant run any more campaign ads, because the primaries are all over
Romneys Bain Capital Campaign Money is useless
7) The 2012 Tampa GOP Convention in August
Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin win the GOP nomination on the first ballot
Mitt Romney is forever politically exiled to the GOPs Planet Kolob
to join his loser friends like Juan McCain and Bob Dole and Jeb Bush
8) The 2012 Presidential Election
Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin win the election in a Ronald Reagan Landslide

but I see the green shoots This is not a criticism of your phrasing, but you bring to mind an interesting idea. I'd love to see a loop of video of all the "experts" claiming in the Summer of 2009 that "green shoots" were showing up in the economy. It would perfectly illustrate the stagnation this country has endured for all of Obama's tenure.

You need to lay off the bong. People will go in to the booth holding their nose much as they did in ‘96 and the last election. Mittens will probably squeeze out a victory which means no one wins.
